Cationic Polydiacetylene Micelles for Gene Delivery

Abstract: Cationic surfactants easily interact with plasmid DNA to form small lipoplexes. However, their detergent behavior and associated biological toxicity limit their use as gene delivery vectors. We have incorporated a diacetylene motif in the hydrophobic chain of cationic surfactants. By using UV irradiation, the small cationic micelles (9 nm) obtained with diacetylenic detergents were photopolymerized into 40 nm spheres. Electrostatic interactions with plasmid DNA led to the formation of 45 nm lipoplexes at N/P =… Show more

“…Among the various crosslinking approaches, the utilization of photo‐crosslinking is of particular importance because it is a clean resource and can be easily manipulated and applied in a spatial and temporal manner . To achieve such photoinitiated crosslinking, the most commonly used approaches in drug delivery systems are the diacetylene‐based amphiphiles with double bonds . Among these polymers containing double bonds, a cinnamate‐containing polymer is frequently used as a photo‐crosslinker because the cinnamyl group is light‐sensitive and has excellent biocompatible properties .…”

“…Typically polymeric micelles are formed from selfaggregation of amphiphilic polymers with the hydrophobic inner core and the hydrophilic outer shell in aqueous media (Kedar et al, 2010) that may be applied as promising carriers for the delivery of drugs (Kataoka et al, 2001;Gaucher et al, 2005;Xun et al, 2011), proteins (Kim et al, 2011) and genes (Morin et al, 2011). As delivery carriers for hydrophobic drugs, the polymeric micelles possess many attractive features and advantages over other types of drug carriers.…”
